Enlargement  of  the  Chapel  of  the  Cross 


CHAPEL  HILL,  N.  C. 


At  the  Convention  of  the  Diocese  of  North  Carolina  in 
Durham,  May  10-12,  it  was  unanimously  decided  that  the  time 
had  come  to  enlarge  the  Church  and  Parish  House  at  Chapel 
Hill.  The  Building  Plan  presented  by  the  Parish  at  Chapel  Hill 
was  enthusiastically  endorsed,  and  the  Bishop  appointed  a  com- 
mittee from  the  Diocese  to  co-operate  with  the  local  committee 
in  raising  funds  for  this  purpose. 

A  few  weeks  later,  the  plan  received  the  endorsement  of 
the  Bishop  of  East  Carolina,  and  he  also  appointed  a  committee 
from  that  Diocese  for  the  same  purpose. 


The  "Jt^eed 


The  University  is  growing  rapidly.  One  thousand,  eight 
hundred  and  fifty  students  were  registered  in  the  last  twelve 
months,  not  counting  the  normal  students  in  the  Summer 
School. 

The  State  has  realized 
its  responsibility  nobly.  In 
the  next  two  years,  North 
Carolina  will  spend  nearly 
a  million  and  a  half  dollars 
for  new  buildings  and  in- 
creased  facilities  at  Chapel  ' 
Hill.  The  Church  must 
not  lag  behind  the  State. 
As  the  present  University 
plant  is  inadequate,  so  also 
is  the  Church  plant  inade- 
quate. If  we  are  to  look 
after  the  young  men  and 
women  of  our  Church  at 
the  University  properly, 
we  must  have  more  room. 
The  condition  is  not  pecu-      front  of  chapel  of  the  cross

same  problem  confronts  the  other  religious  bodies  who  have 
work  at  Chapel  Hill,  and  they  too  are  taking  steps  to  meet  this 
need.  Not  only  do  we  need  an  enlarged  Church  to  accommo- 
date the  increased  number  of  students  who  wish  to  attend,  but 
we  must  also  have  more  room  for  the  Sunday  School,  Bible 
Classes,  and  student  gatherings,  so  that  the  Parish  may  be  a 
heal  home  for  the  students. 

The  "Plan 

The  method  of  enlargement  is  in  accordance  with  the  plans 
put  out  seven  years  ago,  when  the  Battle  Memorial  Parish 
House  was  built.  That  Parish  House  is  an  immense  asset  to 
the  work  at  Chapel  Hill,  and  its  use  is  a  convincing  proof  of 
the  need  of  enlargement.  It  was  built  in  such  a  way  as  to  be 
part  of  the  whole  plan  that  we  must  now  complete.  The  architect 
is  Mr.  Hobart  B.  Upjohn,  whose  work  in  this  State  is  well 
known.  The  parish  houses  of  Christ  Church,  Raleigh,  and  of 
Holy  Innocents,  Henderson,  are  his  work. 

The  tower  and  side  walls  of  the  present  beautiful  Chapel  of 
the  Cross  (  see  illustration)  will  not  be  disturbed.  The  enlarge- 
ment will  be  made  by  adding  to  the  chancel  end  of  the  Church, 
so  making  the  building  about  twice  as  long  as  at  present.  The 
seating  capacity  will  be  more  than  doubled.  Back  of  the  present 
Parish  House  will  be  built  a  large  assembly  room,  with  a  number 
of  smaller  rooms  suitable  for  Sunday  School  and  Bible  Classes, 
and  for  meetings  of  students  and  others  (see  illustration).  The 
interior  of  the  present  Church  will  of  necessity  be  remodelled. 
Here  the  especial  need  is  to  open  up  the  flat  ceiling,  making  a 
proper  Gothic  roof. 

The  estimated  cost  of  the  whole  work,  including  furniture, 
organ,  and  heating  plant,  is  $70,000.00. 

The  extension  is  needed  now.  The  sum  of  $70,000.00  is 
not  a  large  one,  considering  what  can  be  accomplished  with  it. 
The  Chapel  of  the  Cross,  like  the  University,  is  really  a  state- 
wide institution.  We  confidently  appeal  to  the  University 
alumni,  to  those  who  have  or  have  had  sons  or  daughters  at  the 
University,  and  to  all  those  who  desire  to  see  the  spiritual  forces 
at  Chapel  Hill  keep  pace  with  the  material  and  intellectual 
forces,  to  help  to  their  utmost  ability  to  provide  the  sum  needed.
